How about Duel Saber Anakin Vs Double Bladed Maul, if you are just going for cool visuals... like Maul didn't get killed in TPM and fills Dooku's role in AOTC and ROTS.

I'm inclined to agree. If Poe wanted to go real hardcore, with liberal editing he could even start the fight off with three fighters, then have Anakin "pick up" another lightsaber throughout the fight after one of them goes down.

From those screenshots, I almost said something about how good Luke looked in the game...

Dark-Anakin's haircut really looks like Luke's from the side, I notice. Think that was intentional on the part of the filmmakers?

Anyway, a three-way duel between Anakin, Vader and Maul would be awesome...but best would be Anakin versus Vader, though, as much as I like Maul.

First.

EDIT: do you own a PS2 Wayne? The Episode III game, whilst average, has a very cool duel section where all the characters can face off - it includes as a bonus, Obi-Wan and Vader's fight in Episode 4 - you can even have Anakin fight against Vader, and their taunts during the fight even reflect it!

Watching this makes me wish for another sequel to Jedi Knight - perhaps set during the Clone Wars, fertile ground for a new engine that can offer even more impressive duels (the ones in the Episode III game weren't bad at all)

I don't own a PS2, but I had heard about those duel options!

Was it a double KO in that second fight?
These characters are computer-controlled at the same difficulty level, right?
Hm...which one actually won more often?

Vader won the majority so many times I felt sorry for Anakin, and edited out a lot of Vader wins!

BTW, I just took the video down. THe sound was really pissing me off. It was fine before I uploaded it. And the music just doesn't fit. Screw SW music, I'll see if DJ Andy has something good, and re-upload it in a bit.

Well, it really makes sense for Vader to win more often.
Anakin jumps around like a hot-blooded young idiot, and Vader sticks his sword out so Annie can land on it. ^_^

You know what? I tried re-editing that Anakin vs Vader video but, I just didn't feel like it was up to even my "Ben Kenobi vs Darth Vader" or "Luke Walks Into A Sith Bar". I'm going to have to redo it.

What does everyone think of the battle taking place in Palpatine's office? Should it be somewhere else?

UPDATE: The newly reshot video is edited together. But I'm adding sound fx as we speak. I found that the automated game sound FX were more trouble than they're worth, and the characters repeat their lines too much. So I decided to add all the sound effects myself. After literally hours of doing this, I've gotten up to about 2 minutes of a 6 minute video. And that's just the first pass!

Check it out

I'm putting in every lightsaber swing, every footfall, every breath Vader takes. So yeah, its going to take a while. I only have 3 sound tracks to work with at a time. So I'll have to render the video a few times to add the ambiance, music, and any extra sound FX I missed on the first pass.
